Overall, Darius sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Zeri. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Zeri.

Is Darius better when played alongside Zeri?

There is no one best synergy for Darius that will always be his best teammate. However, Zeri is a not very good ally for Darius. By locking into the same side as Darius, they lowers their win rate by -2.0% to 47.2%. This proves that there is a bad bond between Darius and Zeri that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Zeri has a much greater difficulty compared to Darius. That means you need to be very careful when finding Zeri allies to fight alongside, as they will need a much higher level of skill to work well with you.

Working together, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to dish out massive AD. Together, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Although, by grouping Darius and Zeri together, you probably will not be granting your team enough magic damage. Make sure to bring other champs on your team that nullifies this relative disparity in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of your Zeri ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
